Bedrest for Me
So, this week has been pretty bad for me. To sum up the news, I am showing early signs of preeclampsia in the form of high blood pressure and edema (I'm so swollen that I look like the stay puff marshmallow man). As a result, my doctor has put me on bedrest as well as a low dose blood pressure medication. Fortunately, I am not showing any of the other symptoms like protein in my urine, so the plan is to keep my blood pressure down and let this baby cook as long as possible. It seems likely that I will have to be delivered early though. I'm just praying I don't have another NICU baby. Please all pray that I can deliver a healthy baby boy and also pray that I don't lose my marbles being on bedrest.

Shoot Brittany, I am so sorry! I hope you can find ways to keep from losing your marbles and keep that baby cooking and get that blood pressure down.... we'll be sending lots of prayers.
I am planning on bringing over some books, and treats so you will have something to do while on bedrest. We will keep you in our prayers, and that little baby of yours as well.
YOU CAN DO IT! We are praying and cheering for you from New Mexico! Go team baby-makers! LOVE you!
PS Your blog is gonna get REALLY good, huh? We want hour to hour updates!
Dang it. Wish I was there to dance around and make you laugh or to bring you some good reads. We'll be praying for you and your cute family
